With eight wins in the books after tough battles with the St. Louis Blues and Minnesota Wild, the ‘Hawks are just eight wins away from lifting Lord Stanley once again.

Garrett Popcorn loves it when there is a big event to celebrate in our hometown of Chicago, and it doesn’t get much bigger than bringing the Stanley Cup back to The Windy City! All you have to do for proof is look at the incredible photos from the parade last summer that was thrown for the Blackhawks.

With the Conference Finals beginning, there is plenty to get excited about. Lord Stanley is getting closer with each win. And around this time last year, the ‘Hawks were dispatching the Kings in the Western Conference Finals thanks to a hat-trick from Patrick Kane, which he topped off with his third goal coming as a dramatic overtime winner to advance to the Stanley Cup Finals against the Boston Bruins. Everyone in Chicago knows how that ended…

If you’re going to visit a museum on International Museum Day, we recommend first starting at The Field Museum. Located along Lake Shore Drive surrounded by various other Chicago landmarks, including Soldier Field and Shedd Aquarium, The Field Museum is a among the world’s largest natural history museums. One particularly cool exhibit worth checking out is The Machine Inside, which takes a fascinating look into the bio-mechanics of animals and humans. If you need plans for the weekend, we definitely recommend it.

The Field Museum

North of The Field Museum, just off Lake Shore Drive, is the Chicago History Museum. If the captivating history of the city of Chicago is your cup of tea, then this is definitely the perfect place to celebrate International Museum Day. The Chicago History Museum currently has some fantastic exhibits about Abraham Lincoln and his time in Chicago. There is also a photographic exhibit about the history of America’s railways, of which Chicago played a big part.

We love our hometown of Chicago, and we’re proud of all the incredible museums the city has to offer. Once you’re done checking out all of Chicago’s world-class museums, be sure to stop by one of our Shops to enjoy another Chicago tradition.
